Storyline
Did you know
- Trivia(at around 9 mins) Near the end of the "birds" scene, a trout is seen smashing into a window instead of a pigeon. This was a joke left in by the team that did the CG pigeons.
- Goofs(at around 1h 30 mins) During the bridge scene the microwave energy can melt through several feet of galvanized carbon steel wire (main cable) and the bridge beams themselves but not through less than 2mm of metal on the car's body shell.
- Quotes
Taz 'Rat' Finch: How many languages do you speak?
Dr. Conrad Zimsky: Five, actually.
Taz 'Rat' Finch: Well, I speak one... One Zero One Zero Zero. With that I could steal your money, your secrets, your sexual fantasies, your whole life. Any country, any place, any time I want. We multitask like you breathe. I couldn't think as slow as you if I tried.
- Crazy creditsAt the beginning when the Paramount pictures logo is shown there is a transition between the Paramount pictures logo and the film - the camera zooms in on the mountain then starts to move down through the mountain to the core of the earth.

Featured review
A more than decent escapism during my quarantine.
I enjoyed this a lot, its an old fashioned disaster flick, suspenseful with solid special effects, an interesting (if far fetched) science based story and great cast.
Story goes; a scientist/teacher (Aaron Eckhart ) discovers through several natural disasters (Hilary Swank, Bruce Greenwood in space shuttle disaster) a catastrophic problem with the earths core (its stopped spinning) so he and a team of the worlds (mostly American) experts are assembled to embark on a dangerous mission through the earth to the middle of the planet to kick start "the core" using nuclear weapons. What could possibly go wrong?
This movie sets up like The Day After Tomorrow and then heads into Armageddon territory with shades of Chernobyl or K19 thrown in towards the end as one member of the team solo missions into certain death to save the day.
I liked all the characters from this ensemble cast, and found the story exciting especially as the team first enter the earths crust, actually giving me claustrophobia and anxiety. A more than decent escapism during my quarantine.
